Make an approved signing route reusable

When a new routing rule is approved, let Notis add it to the DocuSign template your team uses for future agreements.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

Create template workflow step

This endpoint adds a new workflow step to an existing docusign template. it allows users to define complex routing and conditional recipient rules within the template's workflow. the endpoint is used to create automated processes for document routing, including actions like pausing the workflow, implementing delayed sending, and setting up conditional recipient routing based on specific criteria. it's particularly useful for templates that require sophisticated, multi-stage approval or review processes. the created workflow step can control the timing and conditions under which documents are sent to different recipients, enhancing the flexibility and automation of the document signing process. however, users should be aware that the complexity of the workflow increases with each added step, and careful planning is required to ensure the desired document flow is achieved.

Why this helps

A better signing route can stay as a one-off Slack agreement unless someone updates the template afterward.

  • Carry an approved process improvement into future agreements.
  • Reduce repeated reminders about the preferred route.
  • Keep standard signing templates aligned with team decisions.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and DocuSign to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Write one instruction describing which reaction approves a new workflow step on an existing template.
  • 4Choose the Slack reaction-added trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real process approval and confirm the template step is present.

Add contacts to contacts list

Adds multiple contacts to a user's contacts list in docusign. this endpoint allows for bulk addition of contacts with detailed information, including cloud provider details, phone numbers, email addresses, and notary-specific information. it's particularly useful for populating a user's address book efficiently or synchronizing contacts from external sources. the endpoint supports various contact types, including regular contacts, shared contacts, and signing groups. use this when you need to add or update multiple contacts simultaneously in a docusign account. note that while it can handle a variety of contact information, it does not provide functionality for removing or deactivating contacts.

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Addemailoverridestoenvelope

Adds or modifies email override settings for a specific docusign envelope, allowing customization of the reply-to email address and name, as well as bcc email addresses for archiving purposes. this endpoint should be used when you need to change email settings for an individual envelope, overriding the account-level configurations. it's particularly useful for setting up specialized archiving or customizing the reply-to information for specific envelopes. note that these changes only affect email communications that occur after the addition is made, and the bcc feature is limited to users with appropriate permissions. for security reasons, additional signer authentication is recommended when using the bcc for email archive feature.

TriggerInstant

Add envelope attachments

Adds one or more envelope attachments to a draft or in-process envelope in docusign. this endpoint allows developers to include additional files with an envelope that are not converted to pdf and are only accessible through the api. it's useful for attaching supporting documents or metadata files that should not be part of the main signing process. the endpoint supports up to 12 attachments per envelope, with a maximum file size of 50 mb each. note that these attachments are not visible in the docusign web application and are intended for programmatic use only.

ActionInstant

Channel Message Received

TriggerInstant

Add existing brand to group

This endpoint adds one or more existing brands to a specified group in docusign. it allows users to associate multiple brands with a group, enabling customized branding for different groups within an account. the endpoint should be used when there's a need to update the brands associated with a particular group, such as when reorganizing branding strategies or expanding brand options for specific user groups. it's important to note that this endpoint only adds existing brands to a group and does not create new brands or modify brand details.
